- the first fixing plate G 02 and the second fixing plate G 03 are used to fix the test strip after the assembly of the stick shell, which is different from the test strips of other manufacturers which are fixed with tapes.
- the third fixing plate G 04 has a main function to fix a combination of the absorbent pad 7 and the reaction membrane 4 on the test strip, which ensures that there is traction force for the liquid to continue chromatography and movement in the later stage of immunochromatography.
- the fourth fixing plate G 06 has a main function to fix a combination of the conjugate pad 3 and the reaction membrane 4 on the test strip, such that the reactant of the first step and the solution reach the reaction membrane 4 smoothly to carry out the reaction of the second step.
- the sample loading hole A is of a funnel-shaped structure, the front-side circumferential diameter of the top cover is 4-6 mm, the inside circumferential diameter of the top cover is 3-5 mm, the height of the bulge is 0.1-0.2 mm, and an included angle between a hole wall and a horizontal plane is 30° to 45°.
- the wide-mouth design is conducive to contact with the conjugate pad 3 of the test strip when a small amount of sample is loaded, and is also convenient for a variety of instruments to load a sample after the sample is collected, so as to enable the sample to be fully absorbed by the conjugate pad.
- the testing liquid hole B is of a funnel-shaped structure, the front-side circumferential diameter of the top cover is 6-8 mm, the inside circumferential diameter of the top cover is 1-3 mm, the height of the bulge is 0.3-0.5 mm, and the included angle between the hole wall and the horizontal plane is 30° to 45°.
- the liquid is stored after the testing liquid is loaded, and a hydraulic pressure is formed to drive the liquid to move toward the conjugate pad 3 and the reaction membrane 4 .
- the bulge having a height of 0.3-0.5 mm is combined with the bottom cover and then tightly presses the buffer pad 2 at the clamp slot position, with the volume of about 90 ⁇ L, and releases the liquid directionally and slowly under a capillary action, so as to prevent the insufficient first-step immune reaction due to too fast liquid flow rate.
- the reaction window G 05 is of an elliptical ring-shaped structure, the length of the front-side ellipse of the top cover is 150-200 mm and the width thereof is 70-90 mm, the inside circumferential diameter of the top cover is 130-150 mm, the height of the bulge is 0.1-0.2 mm, the included angle between the hole wall and the horizontal plane is 30° to 45°, and a contact surface between the bottom of the reaction window and the test strip is a vertical bulge of 0.01-0.02 mm.
- the design of the vertical bulge of 0.01-0.02 mm prevents the liquid from being affected by an edge effect of an inward bulge during chromatographic movement of the liquid on the reaction membrane 4 .
- the bulge has a height of 0.1-0.2 mm, which is the same as the height of the sample loading hole A, both being 0.3-0.5 mm lower than the testing liquid B, so as to ensure the air circulation inside the test stick, so that the liquid chromatography process is not affected by the air pressure.
- the reaction window G 05 is a position where the second step of the immune reaction is carried out. After the reaction, the concentration of the analyte in the sample can be calculated by measuring signal values of the T line and the C line with an instrument or by comparing color depths of the T line and the C line with a color card.
- the top cover comprises a hand-held end C, with the surface of the hand-held end C being of a threaded or embossed bulge structure.
- the bulge stage D 04 has a length of 15.0-0.0 mm, a width of 3.0-5.0 mm, and a height of 0.15-0.25 mm. This bulge stage D 04 is located at the reaction window of the top cover, and is a position where the second step of the immune binding reaction is carried out. Since the height of the support bulge D 03 is less than or equal to the height of the bulge stage D 04 , after the test strip is loaded in the clamp slots and is fixed, the test strip is supported by the support bulges D 03 in the clamp slots at two ends to form a “bridge” structure.
- the fixing plates (G 02 , G 03 , G 04 , G 06 ), the sample loading hole A and the testing liquid hole B on the top cover cooperate with the bulge stage D 04 to press downward, such that the horizontal plane of the reaction membrane 4 in the middle of the test strip is raised, and the reaction membrane 4 in the middle bulges upward by 0.15-0.25 mm and forms an “arch-bridge” structure with the horizontal plane (see FIG. 8 b ).
- the formation of this “arch-bridge” structure plays an important role in the accuracy and precision of the testing result of the test stick. This design has the following two effects: I.
- control of the speed of chromatography to further expand the role of molecular sieve of the reaction membrane in the chromatography process of the liquid, the horizontal plane of the test strip gradually rises.
- the liquid is in an upslope state during chromatography, and at this time, the speed of chromatography is decreased to prolong the time of the second step of reaction, such that the analyte that is not fully bound in the first step is further recognized and bound in the process of movement so as to, in the case of decreasing the speed of chromatography, further exert the role of molecular sieve of the reaction membrane to separate non-targets from some samples; and after the second step of sufficient reaction, the liquid begins to be in a downslope state, and under the action of the absorbent pad, the speed of chromatography is increased, the entire reaction process is completed within 10-15 min, and the speed of chromatography of liquid of the test stick is about 45 mm/s.
- the reagent strip forms an “arch-bridge” structure (see FIG. 8 b ), and the liquid performs chromatographic movement in the same direction under the capillary action so as to prevent the loss of analyte due to the liquid spreading around caused by hydraulic pressure when the testing liquid is dripped, which ensures the effective testing concentration of the small amount of sample liquid.
- the present application further provides a testing method using any test stick described above:
- Step (1) Loading a Sample into a Sample Loading Hole
- the sample is loaded onto a conjugate pad in the sample loading hole, the conjugate pad being provided with antibodies coupled to nanospheres, i.e., antibody nanospheres, and analyte in the sample is immunologically bound with the antibody nanospheres on the conjugate pad to form antibody-nanosphere complexes; and
- Step (2) Loading a Testing Liquid into a Testing Liquid Hole
- chromatography of the testing liquid is started in a direction of an absorbent pad end of the test strip, and the testing liquid under chromatography passes through the position of the sample loading hole to dissolve the antibody nanospheres on the conjugate pad that are not bound to the analyte and the antibody-nanosphere complexes that have been bound to the analyte; the chromatography of the testing liquid on the test strip undergoes “upslope, parallel and downslope” (see FIG.
- the testing liquid moves on the test strip and undergoes a second immune recognition reaction in the “parallel” stage, in which the antibody-nanosphere complexes in step (1) undergo the second immune recognition reaction at the test line T and begin to develop color, while the antibody nanospheres that do not react with the test line T continue to move forward and bind to the control line C to develop color.
- 0.1-50 ul of the sample is loaded into the sample loading hole; and 0-150 ul of the testing liquid is loaded into the testing liquid hole.
- the concentration of the analyte in the sample is calculated by measuring signal values of the T line and the C line with an instrument or by comparing color depths of the T line and the C line with a color card. Whether the color development of the C line is sufficient is an important indicator to evaluate whether the reaction of this test stick is complete and whether the measured value is accurate.
- the C line is a control line, which plays an important role in the interpretation of the testing result of the test stick. The C line needs to be fully developed and reach a predetermined value before the testing result is determined to be valid. If the C line is not developed, the measured value is low, there may be interference, and the testing result is invalid. If the C line is developed insufficiently, the measured value is low, indicating that the user may operate incorrectly and the testing result is invalid.
- the testing method described above is used for testing of a tear fluid, wound exudate, tissue fluid, sweat, aqueous humor, and ocular surface lotion.
- the front side (the top cover) of the test stick is designed to have a sample loading hole A and a testing liquid hole B.
- sample volume is 1-5 ⁇ L
- the testing liquid is dripped into the testing liquid hole B, and then the reaction of immunochromatography is started.
- the whole process is simple to operate.
- the sample loading hole A is located at the conjugate pad of the test strip.
- the conjugate pad is made of hydrophilic glass cellulose, and the conjugate pad is provided with nanoparticle-labeled antibody AB-1.
- the sample is directly loaded to the conjugate pad, and the hydrophilic material is conducive to the diffusion of the sample, so that the analyte in the sample is recognized and immunologically bound with the nanoparticle-labeled antibody AB-1.
- the utilization rate of the sample is almost 100%, and a small amount of liquid of 0.1-5 ⁇ L will not cause the subsequent chromatography reaction.
- a larger volume of sample ⁇ 50 ⁇ L, can be loaded directly for testing.
- the analyte binds to the nanosphere-labeled antibody AB-1 to form the bottom and middle layers of a “sandwich” structure of the double antibody sandwich method, so as to complete the first step of immunochromatography testing.
- the testing liquid After the testing liquid is loaded into the testing liquid hole B, the testing liquid begins chromatography in a direction of the absorbent pad end of the test strip. From the beginning to the completion of the reaction, the chromatography of the liquid on the test strip undergoes “upslope, parallel and downslope” (see FIG. 8 b ), and the control of the flow direction and flow rate of the liquid depends on the special design of the test stick.
- the liquid moves on the test strip and performs the second immune recognition reaction in the “parallel” stage, so as to form a complete “sandwich” structure with the test line T and begin to develop color, with the depth of the color being positively correlated with the content of the analyte, i.e., the “sandwich” middle layer.
- the nanoparticles that do not react with the T line continue to move forward, and are bound to the control line C to develop color.
- the concentration of the analyte in the sample can be calculated by measuring signal values of the T line and the C line with an instrument or by comparing color depths of the T line and the C line with a color card. Whether the color development of the C line is sufficient is an important indicator to evaluate whether the reaction of this test stick is complete and whether the measured value is accurate.
- the flow direction of a testing liquid on the test strip and the speed of chromatography are controlled to achieve the purpose of accurately testing a small amount of sample in clinic, which fills up a gap in the market of existing POCT testing products for small amount of samples.
